2010 Garden Photos - 16

great shots everyone - too many to comment on - noticed my deph's had started to bloom today too.

Looking fabbily floriferous. Tex LUV the Picasso. Just hauled my callas out of the greenhouse. No flower buds yet. I just have white ones with speckly leaves. Sexy Rexy

Long view of the 'Pie' Bed which used to be the 'Lily' bed but now has way more other stuff than lilys. Needs more bulbous things methinks. The euphorbia is going to hate me cuz I am moving it to the back as I want to put dahlias in the middle.

oops got yaking and forgot the pic

anemones in the rain

My gosh gone a day and look at all the beauties.

Great shots all. Love the aruncus.

I have to share my new Iris Cheyenne Sky. Love it! : )

I am sorry! My pc is showing the time as 11:27pm and DG says 10:27pm. I thought no one had posted for an hour! :)

I got a tiny fan of this 3 years ago from Indashade - its her SDB iris registration 'Spring Peeper'. I was so excited to get my first bloom this year :)

Oh my that is gorgeous!

Missing the pic :)

I know, I think I'm up way past my bedtime! Lol

I have clematis and roses on both sides of the arbor, but I got two different clematis. I think I will move the one on the right (not in bloom yet) and get another 'Elsa Spaeth' (blooming) so that it doesn't look so lop-sided. The roses are just starting

Cheyenne sky is gorgeous!

Last one - it's past my bedtime too

Butter and sugar (excuse the mess)

I absolutely love your arbor and the stone patio looks so nice. All your flowers are so pretty! :)

My Mesa Verde Ice Plant has made me very happy. I bought a 1 gallon plant from HD and split into4 pieces. They all have grown enough since last year to each fill a 1 gallon pot! They are so cool looking in person. :)

A Helen Dianthus from Bluestone's this year. The smell alone makes me love it. I really like the blue foliage as well. :)

Thanks :). That is a cool looking plant. I don't think I've seen it before. I like the rock mulch too.

Thank you :) I hope theIceplant hides a lot of that soon. It is around the edge of our pool and the soil is like sandbox sand. I mixed in a bag or two of compost and it seems to be very happy!
Here are some Penstemon I grew from seed last year. They are supposed to be Red Rocks, not sure if those are really something which can be grown from seed.
